Fool.com: 5 Stocks for Mom [Special] May 5, 2004

Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 9. So, as is our tradition here at The Motley Fool, we asked our writers to suggest stock ideas that would be good enough for their mothers. This year, Mom is getting into everything from timber to sneakers to real estate investment trusts.

As always, we hope these Stocks for Mom serve as a good launching point for further research if they pique your interest. If you'd like stock recommendations delivered right to your door every month, take a free trial to our newsletters, to which a number of the writers here contribute.

A Stock for Mom represents the opinion of one Fool and should in no way be taken as the opinion of either The Motley Fool, Inc. or the company in question, or as representative of anyone or anything other than that specific Fool's thoughts. The Fool has a disclosure policy.
